GROUP TRAINING
Amy will team up with a second AuthorProfile trainer to deliver focused guidance on event content and performance skills over a full day. Group training provides an opportunity for your authors to share their experiences and to learn from each other as well as from the trainers.
1:2:1 COACHING
Amy is able to deliver individual vocal coaching and stage-craft sessions that are tailored to match the needs of a particular author and are perfect for when you need fast response training.
21ST CENTURY AUTHOR PROGRAMME
Amy facilitated event performance training for the 21st Century Author Programme, a new initiative led by the National Literacy Trust to provide high level support, training and deployment opportunities for established and emerging authors and illustrators in England.
Amy was very professional and a great help to me and the other authors. I agreed with everything she said and she managed to sew some positive seeds that I shall endeavour to use in my future career. The training and advice was superb.
